Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways related to epithelial damage, bronchial hyperresponsiveness to contractile agents, tissue remodeling, and luminal narrowing. Currently, there are many data about the pathophysiology of asthma; however, a new aspect has emerged related to the influence of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS and RNS) on the origin of this disease. Several studies have shown that an imbalance between the production of ROS and RNS and the antioxidant…

Nutraceuticals and mitochondrial oxidative stress: bridging the gap in the management of bronchial asthma

The review provides a detailed insight into the therapeutic role of nutraceuticals as an effective strategy to attenuate the deleterious effects of oxidative stress and may be used in the mitigation of the cardinal features of bronchial asthma.

Involvement of Cu-containing amine oxidases in the development of lung pathology in ovalbumin-induced bronchial asthma in guinea pigs

The data obtained indicate the direct participation of the studied enzymes in the progression of pathological processes in atopic bronchial asthma as well as the potential use of semicarbazide as a drug in complex anti-asthmatic therapy.

Vitamin D has an effect on airway inflammation and Th17/Treg balance in asthmatic mice

In conclusion, vitamin D rectified the Th17/Treg balance and alleviated airway inflammation by inhibiting the NF‐κB pathway in asthmatic mice.

An Update on the Role of Nrf2 in Respiratory Disease: Molecular Mechanisms and Therapeutic Approaches

How the expression of Keap1-Nrf2 functions in different respiratory diseases is described and the protective effects of reversing this expression are explained.

Intermittent Hypoxia-Hyperoxia and Oxidative Stress in Developing Human Airway Smooth Muscle

Developing airway smooth muscle is differentially responsive to hypoxic, hyperoxic, or intermittent hypoxic-hyperoxic exposure in terms of mitochondrial structure and function, showing the necessity of balancing oxidative damage and antioxidant defense systems in the developing airway.

Phytochemical Profiling, Antioxidant, Antimicrobial and Cholinesterase Inhibitory Effects of Essential Oils Isolated from the Leaves of Artemisia scoparia and Artemisia absinthium

The current studies were focused on the phytochemical profiling of two local wild Artemisia species, Artemisia scoparia and Artemisia absinthium leaves’ essential oils, extracted via the hydro…

Follow-up of patients with a 5-year survival after paraquat poisoning using computed tomography images and spirometry.

In the long-term follow-up, patients with severe paraquat poisoning showed the lowest exercise endurance, and CT images revealed diversified changes, not only dynamic evolution of pulmonary fibrosis process, but also signs of bronchiectasis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Asthma attacks: Patients who survived paraquat poisoning.

It is considered that patients with acute paraquat (PQ) poisoning may develop asthma in the long term.
